In general appearance this new species seems to be a 
miniature form of Hrythrodes aystophylla (Rchb.f. ) 
Ames. These two species may be distinguished from 
each other, apart from size, by the shape of the lip, which 
is bilobed in EL. wystophylla and anchoriform in the new 
concept. In natural position, the lip is conduplicate- 
cucullate with the anchoriform tip reflexed and rolled 
inwardly.
